DistilBook makes an educational video from a topic or a source document in about 20 minutes: it writes a lesson script of 6 to 12 teaching points for you to approve, then illustrates and narrates each one in the style and language you choose. A single chapter becomes a 4 minute lesson, and the script review step keeps the facts yours.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make an educational video with AI for free?
Sign up for DistilBook, type the topic or upload a chapter, approve the lesson script, and generate. The free plan includes 10 credits, enough to generate and preview your first narrated slide, with paid plans from $15 per month for full videos.
Can I control what the video teaches?
Yes. The AI proposes the teaching points and the narration, and nothing is generated until you approve them. Upload your own material and the lesson follows it rather than general knowledge.
Which styles work best for education?
Whiteboard, hand-drawn education and sketch notebook are the most used for school content because the drawing animation holds attention. Flat vector and soft SaaS styles suit professional and corporate courses.
Can students watch without an account?
Yes. The share link plays in any browser without a login, and the MP4 can be uploaded to Google Classroom, YouTube or any LMS.
Is it accurate enough for teaching?
Accuracy comes from the review step and from your sources. When you upload the chapter, the script is written from it. When you type a topic, the AI writes from general knowledge and you check every line before it is spoken. Teachers typically edit two or three lines per lesson.
